World Cup 2010 post #1

I love soccer. Played for 7 years as a kid. World Cups are so fun. The '94 one I was working as a janitor in the dorms with a bunch of mexican guys, breaks were a little longer than normal that summer.... The best part of the experience is the british announcers who do all the soccer for ESPN; they are so quotable. The worst part is listening to american announcers. I don't know if they dumb it down cause they think the audience doesn't understand, or if they are really just terrible observers of the game, but... in 2006 I muted the bad announcing and played Neko Case's Fox Confessor Brings the Flood over and over and over again.
